Winter is determined to stay & won't give spring a break. There is cold rain & sleet with lots of wind & mud everywhere with temperatures in the low 40's. Tonight there is more freezing rain coming with a dip down into the low 30's. It is just down right sour outside.

The frost is on the pumpkin & I've been BOO'D by two pet talk ghosts.
Thank you Fritz & Cassiesmom

Winter won't release it's grip on us this year--- we still have lots of snow and they just predicted more mixed with rain and sleet for the rest of the week such fun. Easter has come and gone but it seems like it just wasn't here yet this year , we were still knee deep in snow and winter jackets, still are. Some of the snow did melt over the weekend and the past few days so I hope the forecast is wrong. Right now it's only 1 degree C.

It's 60F today but everything is wet and flooded. Yeccch! Too much rain fell too fast, flooding highways, streets, underpasses and the Deep Tunnel system in Chicago. They had to open the locks and let water into Lake Michigan. It's still cloudy. I know that April showers bring May flowers, and I know that we were far behind on moisture with last year's drought. Hopefully this will go a long way toward catching us up, but what a wet, sloppy day.

I've been Boo'd... right off the stage!

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

It's 57F and it's been raining for most of the day. I enjoyed looking at Pomtzu's photos of Wolfy and Sowa's pictures of Loki in the sunshine! That was a treat for me on a yucky day. This is more like mid-October than mid-September.

It was in the 40's when I got up around 6 a.m., but it warmed up nicely to 75 this afternoon, It was a beautiful and clear day all day. It's supposed to be in the 70's all week. So glad that the hot summer days are over for yet another year.

To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

RIP lil Benson the Hedgehog, came in to our lives suddenly and for a short time ,but you were loved and cared for and missed.

Today and tomorrow morning are our first real frost. The temp has been falling all day. It will be below freezing tonight and the winds are already 25 mph plus. the kitties are all in the living room near the kerosene heater.

Cold?? It hasn't been cold yet! Except in my office at work. We all walk around with sweaters and coats on all day.
The lowest the temp in my car has shown was a couple weeks ago in the morning it said 44F. But that was only that one morning. Otherwise, it's in the upper 50s in the morning and upper 60s all day. It even rained a little on my way to work yesterday, but still not cold.
I'll get some cold this weekend.........going up to Lake Tahoe!!

Gotta love this California weather!!!

Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
